WisdomTree recently filed for a put-write strategy ETF that uses the Russell 2000 as its base index. The [WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1350487/000119312517238696/d426412d485apos.htm) will sell put options on the Russell 2000 Index and invest the resulting proceeds in one-month Treasury bills, according to the prospectus.

Essentially, the index represents the performance of a cash-secured put option sales strategy, the document said. When the fund writes a put on the Russell 2000 (RUT), the seller gets a premium from the buyer of the put. In a sideways market, the fund will earn a positive return; however, it will underperform the Russell 2000 if that index goes up, and fall should the Russell 2000 decline below the strike price.

The fund will complement the $189 million [WisdomTree CBOE S&amp;P 500 PutWrite Strategy ETF (PUTW)](https://www.etf.com/putw), which uses a similar approach based on the S&amp;P 500 Index.

The filing did not include a ticker, expense ratio or listing exchange.
